HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY MISS ALLIE!!

Where did those 8 years go? Seriously, I was just pregnant with my youngest. My princess. My girly girl. It seems like I blinked & suddenly and 8 years are gone.
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you arrived (and I fell in love)? Weighing in at 9 pounds 8 ounces. Did I mention you were 2 weeks early?
  • Wasn't it just yesterday your brother met you for the first time? He tried to poke your eyes out!
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you weren't sleeping through the night? Wait, you still sometimes show up in my room in the middle of the night!
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you took your first swimming lesson and got too deep and had to be rescued?
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you went to preschool with Mrs. Phillips, Kindergarten with Miss Pins and 1st grade with Mrs. Wyckoff?
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you learned to tie your shoe? You taught yourself!
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you learned to ride your bike? Again, taught yourself!
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you came home from preschool and stated that you learned all about "Mary, Mary Pumpkin Cherry"? (Mary, Mary Quite Contrary)
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you started ballet class? Played your first soccer game? Your first t-ball game? Your first gymnastics class?
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you decided to be an artist when you grow up?
  • Wasn't it just yesterday that you threw fit after fit if you didn't get your own way? Did I mention the pouting?

Where did the time go? It just flies by! Before I know it you'll be heading off to your first school dance, your first date, you'll graduate and head off to college. You'll get married and have kiddos of your own!! I'm anxious to watch you grow, yet I wish life would slow down. Watch out world, here comes Miss Allie!!
